My brother-in-law has this abandoned trailer, it looks kind of interesting. It must have been quite beautiful inside with the wood interior. can't tell what metal its made of; not rusting but the rivet heads are rusting. see the pics

"M-Systems were made in Vicksburg, Miss. F. L. Cappert
bought the company from the Bonelli family and then Cappert went
on to make Magnolia Moblie Homes and his son is still in business in Vicksburg, Miss."

I grew up in a M System trailer. My folks bought it in 1952 in Kentucky and sold it in 1955 in West Texas. Dad pulled it with a '52 Packard. We moved every 6 months so it was the perfect home. And yes, it was beautiful when new.

I wonder if this could be the same trailer that your dad sold back then? My folks had both a '48 and a 52' Packard. Ed

The name plate says it was made in Mississippi

I ran across this thread and I found the exterior shot quite interesting. My brother has a 1951 34ft Vagabond that looks much like this M-Systems unit. The inside of the Vagabond also looks much like some of the interior pics of the M unit. Not sure how the M unit was constructed, but my brother's Vagabond was constructed with pipe framing and aluminum painted skin. The M unit would make a very elegant coach with enough time and money. My brother acquired the Vagabond back a couple of year's ago when he was in the vintage trailer business.

Just found out that the trailer we are currently restoring is an M-Systems coach. We have no markings on the trailer but at a vintage camp last weekend we spotted another. There are so many details that are the same. When we got home I checked the panel by the rear door and there are matching screw holes where the manufacturer's plate would have been.

I know this an old thread but I just saw one of these the other day.
Pretty cool looking, if anyone has anymore info on these it sure would be nice to hear.
Seems to be metal construction,not sure if its aluminum or steel.

Sorry to take so long to answer, the thread seemed dead.. My brother in law has it near Mason TX. The trailer is sitting abandoned and he has no plans to use or restore it. Anyone seriously interested would get a cheap deal!
